Mendelson Assisted Living Home, also called Mendelson House, sits by a calm lakefront in Waterford, MI, and offers a home-like setting where staff often get recognized for being helpful and kind, and that's something you notice right away when you walk through the door and see the common areas meant for socializing and community gatherings. The place uses its own terms for care, like calling its assisted living "Joseph T. Mendelson Assisted Home Living Facility" and including memory care programs such as those offered at Clausen Manor, along with rehabilitation and healthcare at Lourdes Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, which really helps cover all the different needs seniors have as time goes by.
Residents can choose from studio and one-bedroom apartments that aim to keep a balance of independence and support, and these apartments usually have kitchens or kitchenettes, safety features, maintenance help, cable TV, and even things like sprinkler systems for extra safety. Safety stays important too because every room has an emergency call system and there's 24-hour staffing, so if anyone needs help day or night, someone's always there, and the place even uses advanced fall detection technology and regular wellness checks, which gives families peace of mind.
Mendelson House supports independent living, assisted living, long-term care, rehabilitation, and memory care, and care plans get checked every month so that as people's needs change, the help changes too. Residents get assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, and for those who need more, things like diabetic care, incontinence care, walking wheelchair help, and even non-ambulatory care are available, with 12-16 hour nursing supervision on site.
For comfort and engagement, residents have access to a dining room serving three meals and snacks every day, with chefs and meal planners picking good ingredients for balanced nutrition, and there's also a game and activities room, a spa, a fitness center, a library, walking paths, an in-house beauty salon and barbershop, plus a chapel for devotional activities. WiFi and guest parking are available, and most utilities are covered in rent except for phone and internet. The staff offers transportation for outings, doctor visits, and more, and the housekeeping and laundry services make daily life a bit easier, letting residents spend more time enjoying planned activities, arts and crafts, social gatherings, health and wellness programs, educational options, and spiritual engagement.
The approach here centers on dignity, compassion, and a focus on the whole person-body, mind, and spirit. Mendelson House works to empower seniors by making sure they have choices, privacy, and the right support to stay active, safe, and connected to others and, maybe most of all, to keep living life their way, with kindness and a gentle touch running through all the services offered.
